Dependant’s pensions (Digital members who have taken their retirement benefits)

Dependant’s pensions (Digital members who have taken their retirement benefits)

If you don’t leave a spouse or civil partner, the Trustee has discretion to award a pension to a dependant. The amount would normally be the same that your surviving spouse or civil partner would have received, however the Trustee has discretion to pay a smaller amount.

Although the Trustee decides who will receive the benefit, they will take account of your wishes. To keep the Trustee informed of your wishes, please go to the ‘nominated beneficiaries’ section of your My Work Pension account. You will find this under the ‘Your account’ menu. Alternatively, please get in touch with the Plan’s administrator, Trafalgar House, and they will be able to send you a form.
